How will Canadas action plan bring greater transparency to the process?
New funding arrangements are being put in place that are more transparent and which better meet the needs of the revamped process. Finding information about spending on specific claims is not easy the way proposed spending has been presented to Parliament and others. This makes it difficult for interested Canadians to determine how well the government is handling claims or even whether adequate funding is available. Having substantial and visible funding in place that is dedicated to specific claims settlements will address this lack of transparency. This will also underscore Canada’s commitment to honour its outstanding debts to First Nations.
